Mikaela Conley

A Bar Harbor man told investigators he had consensual sex with the woman he’s accused of killing, but security camera footage captured him hoisting her over his shoulder while she resisted, and later dragging her lifeless body, according to court documents made public Friday.

The state affidavit indicates Mikaela Conley, 19, died from blunt force trauma to her head and strangulation.

Jalique Keene

Jalique Keene, 21, remains in jail, charged with murder in her death in Bar Harbor. Her body was found June 2.

Keene said the two had sex and there was a physical altercation afterward when Conley “became upset,” the affidavit said. He told investigators he left and never saw her again.

The two attended Mount Desert High School together, and Keene was a running back. He later played football for West Virginia State University and an amateur team in Serbia, the Bangor Daily News reported.
